Ammonia (NH3) is a colorless chemical compound comprised of nitrogen and hydrogen that is widely used in agriculture and in ...

Engineers have developed modular nanoparticles that can be easily customized to target different biological entities such as tumors, viruses or toxins. The surface of the nanoparticles is engineered ...

Natural sources, such as microorganisms (e.g., bacteria, fungi, yeast, and algae) and plant extracts, have acted as eco-friendly precursors for producing nanoparticles with several potential ...

Gold nanoparticles are made up of metallic gold atoms to create a crystal structure of 1-100 nm. Gold nanoparticles have been produced in the laboratory for several decades, and many approaches have ...

Researchers have developed an original method -- soft-confinement pattern-induced nanoparticle segregation (SCPINS) -- to fabricate polymer nanocomposite thin films with well-controlled nanoparticle ...

A recent study published in Bioinorganic Chemistry and Applications reported a green synthesis method for silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using peel extract from the “Mollar de Elche” variety of ...

Our lungs are exposed to a multitude of hazardous airborne particles on a daily basis. Nanoparticles, due to their small size, may reach the sensitive alveolar region of the human lung and trigger ...

Nano-sized particles already make bicycles and tennis rackets lighter and stronger, protect eyeglasses from scratches, and help direct chemotherapy drugs to cancer cells. But their usefulness depends ...

In their quest for more-efficient catalysts and better battery components, scientists are exploring a new category of materials known as high-entropy oxides. These oxides, made from five or more ...
